Disposable income and ability to take time away from work without pay? (And I suppose the desire to)

I get 25 vacation days each year, but I don't have money to really travel. Also I grew up on a farm. My parents never could be away from the animals too long, so I didn't grow up with the expectation of yearly vacations to the sun or anything like that. Because of that, it's not a priority for me now. But if I had spare money, I would like to see more of the world.

Before I had kids, I've been abroad a few times, but only once for a real vacation. I've studied abroad for half a year. I have worked as an international driver, so I've seen most of the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Switserland and France. I've been in a plane 3 times in my life, one of which was behind the steering wheel (awesome experience).

I expect (hope) to be financially able to travel again in the next 5 years or so.
